You need a patch to IOBluetoothFamily to enable handoff/hotspot. It has nothing to do with firmware loading.
See here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/network/104850-guide-airport-pcie-half-mini-v2.html
Try to put this in Clover's config.plist in the KernelAndKextPatches --> KextsToPatch Array:
<dict>
<key>Name</key>
<string>IOBluetoothFamily</string>
<key>Find</key>
<data>SIXAdFwPt0g=</data>
<key>Replace</key>
<data>Qb4PAAAA61k=</data>
<key>Comment</key>
<string>Handoff Fix</string>
</dict>
@RehabMan & @MegaCookie are correct.
It requires a Clover or Kext patch and is outside the functionality provided by BrcmPatchRAM.
